Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular shaped stack of tin cans has 8 cans in the first row and 8 rows in all.

In each successive row one can is removed.

i.e. in first row there are 8 cans

in second row there are 7 cans

in third row there are 6 cans

...

The explicit formula which tells about the number of cans in row n is:

an=9-n

(Since a1=8 is satisfied only by this formula)

Number of cans in fifth row are:

a5=9-5=4

Hence, number of cans in fifth row equals:

4

The rule is that one can will be removed each row, so in the fifth row there will be 3 fans.

Lilies :
390 - 268 - 74 = 48

48 \times 5 = 240


Total number of lilies the florist will buy next week = 240

the sum of two numbers is 3 3/4 if 1/3 of the larger number is 1/2 more than 2/3 of the smaller find the number
Agata [3.3K]
Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
  = 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
   = 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
   = (15 - 3)/4
   = 12/4
   = 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.
